Bürkert Fluid Control Systems, in partnership with Mecklenburg County, the Town of Huntersville, and Lake Norman Economic Development, held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new 120,000-square-foot facility on Thursday, March 26. The current facility is located on Whitehall Park Drive in Charlotte, but is relocating to Huntersville, North Carolina.

During the ceremony, guests had the opportunity to learn about the new facility and hear from keynote speakers. The ceremony was held at Bürkert Fluid Control Systems’ land on Mt. Holly-Huntersville Road.

Timmons Group provided civil engineering and landscape architecture design services for the new facility and also developed the conceptual site and utility master plan for the 98-acre property. The Timmons Group team also prepared construction documents including a site layout and circulation plan, utility infrastructure plan, grading and stormwater management plan, and a landscape plan.

The new manufacturing facility is expected to enhance job growth and provide over 60 jobs in the next few years. The project is expected to reach completion in early 2016.
